Great Interview.

Did Meg o.d. ?

How many overweight women were not hired as flight attendants back then? Might have saved their lives. Same for minority women.

I wanted to work on a high floor in one of the towers for a Wall Street firm as a secretary, but they didn't hire men! Guess I was lucky #metoo was a thing back then.

It must have been so hard for Anna, losing a parent at a young age and in such a public way. Trying to hold onto personal and private memories of her Mom so that she has something just for herself. I don't know if it is much comfort for her to know that complete strangers still think of her Mom but we do. As a member of a flight crew, she was a brave first responder on that day. But nothing can make up for losing one of the most important people in your life so early and for that, I'm so sorry.

The therapist asks a pt that to ACTUALLY relive the events. The more we you do that and talk about it after a while it will wear out. The affect attached to the memories will start to fade. Kind of like playing your favorite song over and over again. After a while the song gets thrown where all the other songs are. It’s called “Working it Through “

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for finding a way to share your story with us. I have friends and at times one of my children has struggled with depression and it really helps me to hear the knowledge you have to share. Sending love and prayers.

Thank you for this interview, very interesting and well done. You are so respectful and it truly feels like a celebration of Pat's life as well as a conversation about mental illness. Thank you for doing this! ✨

Beautiful interview!! 💕

weed can make schitzophrenia start did that happen here or

I just lost my daughter to suicide. I'm at rock bottom and can't see how this is going to get any better. I'm hateful and hard towards myself, as her Mom.

Thank you so much for being open about your experiences. How incredibly hard this must by to talk about it all. You are so brave. I am so sorry this happened to your daughter, to you and to your family.

The parents are delusional. Their daughter was an adult. The security guard did the correct thing, he did not have the right to call the parents of an adult, for privacy reasons. And he was trying to protect their daughter. He saw evidence of self-harm, so he wanted to detain the young woman, for her own protection. Perhaps he should have taken her to the hospital, and not have given her a choice of jail. But the choice of jail at least gave her an opportunity to sober up (he probably deduced that she had also been drinking), and allowed her to bet in touch with her own counselor, the next day.

I am so so sorry. Your daughter was/is a beautiful girl! You two are amazing parents!! I do hope that bully boy gets karma! I hope he reflects on his actions and repents and really fully feels the pain he has caused . God bless you both and prayers of comfort your families way🙏♥️🙏♥️

Work on your speaking skills

Thank you . The expression of holding sadness, love, emptiness, joyful memory, pain, richness and the sacredness of being all together, all at once is a very good description of how complex the experience is. The best telling of this grief and that it is ok to laugh and remember the spirit and love and forever that aching of your heart.

Thank you for sharing your story. When I heard towards the end of the podcast about Meg using cannabis, I realized that that's a very important piece of the story. Many teens these days are getting severe anxiety and depression from using today's cannabis. The brain's neuroreceptors become severely impacted by it, initiating many mental and physical problems. Parents (including me) have no idea how dangerous it is until they see the devastating impacts occurring with their child. The excellent organization Johnny's Ambassadors is working hard to get the word out about just how dangerous cannabis is to developing brains. It's a huge and growing problem that's wiping kids out.

My heart breaks for these parents & anyone that has to endure such a tragedy. Anyone who doesn’t shed a tear listening to this isn’t human. This is every parent’s greatest fear including mine. Thank you for sharing such a tragic experience. Sorry for your loss & prayers for you & your family 🙏🏻

I gave up on therapists. I even thought about being an “anti-therapist”… there are good ones, I’ve heard, but not enough. She’s so lucky she had you guys. I’m so so sorry for your loss. I pray you find a way to cope. May she rest in peace.🙏

Most? Well that’s not a generalization. 🙄

I think the culture of college can be so so so toxic. I think parents (I am a parent of a 17 year old) need to acknowledge that college maybe isn’t the number one option for kids with mental health issues or learning challenges, etc. A lot of teens are not ready to make the leap to adulthood and be able to regulate enough to handle adult responsibilities. Some kids need much more time. I wish there wasn’t a stigma about going to community college or a trade school or just simply getting a simple job. Sororities are so so toxic. ❤ My son is not going to college but getting his EMT certification and staying with us until he is ready to go. ❤

Um um ah ah ah um um im um prepare yourself , you know you know , do not do on interviews especially , this lovely couple lost their daughter , your introduction was si uncomfortable , please please prepare

this story is testament to the utterly fascist and abusive nature of cops in the US. they tortured and abused her. they should be sued. I am sorry for your loss.

As mom said, mental health is treatable. They are right on target Parents, please know you did everything right. Sometimes you cant change what will happen. Also, what they said about basically ignoring their other kids while they took care of Meghan is so relatable. My son had severe ADHD and Tourettes Syndrome. Lots of behavior issues and impulse control issues. Then, at 18 he became a quadriplegic. I lost him at 25. Both his injury and death were brought about by bad decisions. This was so hard on my other kids. I ignored my other kids, not intentionally, but you can only do so many things at once, and my son needed me more. Tough decisions.

Thank you for being so gentle and respectful to these precious parents. I have dealt with major depression and anxiety since I was around 3 yrs. old. I did attempt suicide at 16 and contemplated it many other times . I didn't have supportive family and ended up with a few really awful therapists. I did have one that was great, but even he didn't ask the right questions to get to what the underlying issue was. As an adult, I became a certified peer specialist, where I shared my story with others. I worked at a state run psychiatric hospital. Many of my patients were doing self harm, mainly cutting. Sharing my story helped me so much and I was surprised how much it helped others, so I was surprised to hear the parents say Meghan hated sharing her story. What that tells me is that whatever the issue was that put her on this path, she wasn't dealing with it. The story they told about Meghan getting arrested turned my stomach. LE needs more training dealing with EDPs, but some stuff is just common sense and human decency. Some things you can't teach. I am so sorry for what these parents have gone thru. There is nothing worse than losing a child. I lost my oldest son, although not to suicide. God bless guys.

So important for the rest of us to understand this.thanks for sharing. I a. Glad Meg wanted to stay with her friend.

RIP Meg. ❤🇨🇦

Blaming the police after all of their daughter’s intervention is not really fair!

All the intervention did not WORK! Often anti/depressants cause suicidal ideation! I had a craniotomy for an aneurysm and after the surgery I went into deep depression! The anti-depressants caused me to be suicidal! Doctors hand these drugs out like candy and never understand they can be the problem! I know these drugs may help some but more attention should be given to those who are taking the drugs!

First i want to say i am so so sorry for the loss of your sweet angel❤❤ Everyon else....Lets have a chat about every angle of this situation. I was born and raised in a town where the same kids in my kindergarten were those i graduated with. I was bullied alot. I played sports only to sit the bench. I was a cheerleader only to not have anyone to sit with or talk to. And that lasted 12+years. Their parents were usually the coaches and teachers at that very school. My mother worked at the school. Transferring schools is a joke. Not easy at all without uprooting everything because of different school disticts. Over 15 years later i had to move back to care for my mother which involved my 3 children having to attend that very same school. Worst mistake ever. The school had changed....it got even worse. My 2 girls suffered extreme depression and anxiety and borh were absent alot. Which then leads to child protection who said i had to force them. And then they self harmed and had suicidal ideations resulting in the oldest being institutionalized three times for 10 days each time. My youngest was harassed daily. And i even stopped posting on social media because my photos would have nasty comments from the kids as well. She is the most kind hearted person who can draw and paint amazing things. And sings beautifully every day but immediately stops if she sees you.But lacks the confidence because of all those kids. It came to apoint of therapy both at the school and with a therapist. But how do you fix things you cant change. Like my disabled son who died last year❤or my disability from a broken back.or my income. Or why they got a few things for xmas, and they saw others getting things like phones and electronic game systems. Or why we cant move. Or why my brother is living with us after my mom passed away 5 years ago. My oldest dropped out in 10th grade. And i could not get my youngest to go. I chose homeschool. I found an online program and started her in that in 7th grade. I filled out everything required by NY state. And once she was finished middle school she wanted to try high school. And the same terrible school said "no that wont work, we cant count the homeschool" never once gave any indication of that for 3 years saying "she would have to go back into 7th grade at age 17. So let me just say if parents knew it was this bad and "didnt change her school" its bull. We dont want to make things worse and we do try everything we can to help them. Social media sucks but my children didnt have cell phones growing up, and once they reached 7th grade everyone else had one and it was just another thing to bully them about. I did not have even an email til i was 16 and was bullied just as much. I am sorry for the long comment but come on people your suggestions are too late. Now raise your kids better. If your child is the bullying then watch 13 reasons why. That was exactly mine and my childs days in school. I just love when the bullies i grew up with posted how good it was on f"!;book of all places. One of the birth places of online bullying. Please think before you comment nonsense

I wish my parents were this supportive. My mom has yelled at me “if you want to kill yourself, go ahead and I’ll pretend you were never born.”

God Bless you and your family

I relate to what you have said. I'm such a staunch believer in being "too stubborn too die". I have struggled with depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, eating disorders, sexual assault. It was the suicide of a young man I never knew way back in 85, who made such an impression upon me that I committed to never doing that. Surely that young man, a teenager, had no idea,he would impact a teenage girl he never met to stay alive. I'm grown, I'm a mother of 3 brilliant children I worry about every day. Life is still so hard. I still hurt or feel indifferent. But man, I'm glad I have kept living. I can't convince anyone single handedly, but I would impress upon anyone, don't give in, don't give up. By any means possible, just stay.

When the cops ask you to leave as they’re taking away your friend you have to leave you can’t fight them. I mean she was drinking so the story she relays when she’s sober is different from what really happened. it sounds like she made a lot of bad choices and hung around with the wrong people and that is a recipe for disaster. Also, if you have strong faith in the family and you attend Christian church on Sundays, trust me, God comes first and none of this would happen.

Football legend Tom Brady states that he wants his kids to fail. He knows. His kids need to fail to live well.

This is why I hate seeing students be super successful in so many things in school. Because then when things go bad - with anything - with women, with grades, with sports, then life is not perfect. So life is not good. And suicide becomes a serious option. In my life, I struggled with school. I worked hard and still almost was suspended because of grades. I was dumped by men multiple times. And I come from a dysfunctional family. And I am still here. Because failure is accepted.

I am a licensed therapist and I am so sorry that so many have bad experiences in counseling. I just have to say the reason I went into this field was a desire to help people. Most of the therapist I know are just like me, they want to help. Best wishes to all of you.

Thank you for sharing your story. Meg was very fortunate to have you both as parents. I can't help but feel incredible anger towards the policeman who, in my opinion, failed in his duty of care of Meg & her friend & abused his position of authority. Were you able to report his behaviour? It's disgusting to think he treated 2 young women this way. Blessings 🙏

Did you learn money can’t buy happiness?

I love these parents. They are both so loving and so strong.

Why was Meg be targeted by a male bully?? I truly don’t understand.

Meg sounded like such a beautiful soul. That dumb cop could have been the catalyst for her suicide. I think women are treated differently by some police and doctors. My condolences to her family. I believe she is not hurting and is in a better place. ❤️🇨🇦🙏

It sounded like she felt strongly, both positive and negative. My condolences for your loss and thank you for sharing your journey!!

My best friend and sister killed herself by walking in front of a fast moving train. She was 46 years old. Our whole life was trying to keep her alive. It was exhausting. I would do it all over again just to have one more laugh with my beautiful sister. I miss her so MUCH 💗. It's been 13 years. She was a cheerleader in high school like Meg. She was stunningly gorgeous and she didn't know it! I'm so very sorry for your loss. She lived a long time after she was committed to the State mental Hospital. Almost no one is able to leave, but she did and lived 15 more years, got married and had a son. Those were the happiest days of her life. I'm so thankful for those years!

JESUS

Addiction is so powerful

God made us in his image…and we got very broken by Sin ours and others…we know something is very wrong…Gods Word and words hold truth…BUT WE HAVE REMOVED TRUTH…HARD TRUTH

GOD IS NEVER IN ANY KIND OF ABUSE…We forget we have a real Devil and demons…HE KILLS STEALS AND DISTROYS..JESUS CAME TO BRING LIFE AND LIFE ABUNDANT…WE MUST BRING EVERYTHING TO THE LIGHT TO GET WELL…I AM SO THANKFUL FOR HER RECOVERY!!!!!!…. Yes the mother is a real MESS..but THANK GOD THAT SHE AND HER BROTHER WERE BROUGHT TO A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD GET HELP. SO HARD TO TRUST GOD WHEN SO DARK…that is what devil wants …GOD SAVE ME FROM ME AND HEAL THE PAIN

They say the Brain matures around age 25. Hang in there. Impulse decision…..sad

Thank you
